For those of you wondering why i wasnt gracing the forums last night with my posts of wisdom (lol) i was out on a night fishing trip with my Dad and Uncle Joe up in Geelong. Two days ago me and my Dad went to the same spot and caught around 20 whiting, but we only kept 8. The smallest we caught was about 15 cm, 12 cm under the legal limit, and the largest (which Dad caught) was 36 cm. My largest was about 34 cm and the rest averaged to around 32 cm. It was a good trip, mainly becuase we actually caught something!

Anyway last night we thought we will try the place at night, and we decided to take my Uncle Joe along. We tried a couple of spots but only one seemed fruitful (even if the only thing caught was a 7 cm snapper, or pinky as they are known) until we found a spot on top of a school of whiting. They weren't as large as the mornings trip, the largest making it to 32 cm, and we didnt catch many but we were happy. However once my uncle (finally) got a fish is, it turned out to be a babygernit (im not sure how to spell it and i cant find it on the net for some reason :(). For those of you not familiar with fish, Gernits are a fish with a poisonous barb that has no anti-venom, its not harmful and you wont lose a limb over it,but you just gotta put up with the pain for up to 24 hours. Apart from that it was a good trip. The all up tally was:

Dad: 3 whiting, 2 pinkies.

Me:3 whiting, 1 pinky.

Uncle Joe: 1 gernit.

Well that was all. See you space cowboy.
